Hello freinds well as time goes on we get better at what we do as i am finding out with photography (love it ) i am looking to purchase another lense but i am so having a hard time deciding between the tamron 17-50 XR DI II F/2.8 and the tamron 28-75 D F/2.8 XR Now i want this lense mainly for family functions , BBQ'S ,POOL,XMAS some portraits and so on your input on these would be appreciated

My girlfriend has the 28-70. Nice lens, pretty sturdy for a tamron, and the optics seem to be pretty good. You might miss the wide angle of the 17-50 though, but that depends on your shooting style. 70mm is nice for portraits though.
